His dA addy was a honest man,a rD ed dirt Georgia faA rmer
His mama lived a short life having kids and bailing E hay
He had fA ifteen years of acD he inside to waA nder
He jumped a freight in Waycross and wE ound up in LA .A.
Verse 2:
The cA old nights had no pity on that WD aycross Georgia farm A boy
Most days he went hungry,then the summer cE ame
He mA et a girl known on the strip as SD an Francisco Mabel JA oy
Destitutions child born on an LE .A. street called shA ame
Verse 3:
GrowD ing up came quietly in the arms of Mabel JA oy
Laughter found their mornings it brought new meaning to his lE ife
The nD ight before she left sleep came and found that Waycross countryA boy
With dreams of Georgia cotton and CE alifornia wiA ne
Verse 4:
SunD day morning found him beneath the red light at her A door
A right cross sent him reeling and put him face down on the fE loor
InplaD ce of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad A marine
He said your Georgia neck is red,but sE onny you're still green
Verse 5:
He tA urned twenty-one in grD ey rock federal priA son
The judge had no mercy on this Waycross,Georgia E boy
StaA ring at those four grey wall in siD lence,Lord he listeA ned
To the midnight freight he knew could take him E back to Mabel Joy
Verse 6:
SunD day morning found him beneath the red light at her dA oor
With a bullet in his side he cried,haE ve you seen Mabel Joy
StD unned and shaken someone said she don't live here no A more
She left this house four years ago sE he was looking for
Some Georgia fD arm boy
